Interacting Bose Gas in an Optical Lattice
A grand canonical system of hard-core bosons in an optical lattice is considered. The bosons can occupy randomly N equivalent states at each lattice site. The limit N → ∞ is solved exactly in terms of a saddle-point integration, representing a weakly-interacting Bose gas. In the limit N → ∞ there is only a condensate if the fugacity of the Bose gas is larger than 1. Corrections in 1/N increase ...
متن کاملObservation of nonspreading wave packets in an imaginary potential.
We propose and experimentally demonstrate a method to prepare a nonspreading atomic wave packet. Our technique relies on a spatially modulated absorption constantly chiseling away from an initially broad de Broglie wave. The resulting contraction is balanced by dispersion due to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. This quantum evolution results in the formation of a nonspreading wave packet of ...
متن کاملMatter-wave scattering from ultracold atoms in an optical lattice.
We study matter-wave scattering from an ultracold, many-body atomic system trapped in an optical lattice. The angular cross section of the target lattice for a matter wave is determined and is demonstrated to have a strong dependence on the many-body phase, superfluid, or Mott insulator. Analytical approaches are employed deep in the superfluid and Mott-insulator regimes, while intermediate poi...

متن کاملBose Gases in an Optical Lattice
We report on the study of the momentum distribution of a one-dimensional Bose gas in an optical lattice. From the momentum distribution we extract the condensed fraction of the gas and thereby measure the depletion of the condensate and compare it with a theorical estimate. We have measured the coherence length of the gas for systems with average occupation n̄ > 1 and n̄ < 1 per lattice site. 1 T...
